Scots are siding with David Cameron rather than Alex Salmond on the issue of holding an in-out referendum on Europe, according to a new poll for The Times.

The Ipsos MORI poll of more than 1,000 Scots shows that the majority are backing the Prime Minister and want a say on Britain’s membership of the European Union — despite Mr Salmond’s repeated opposition to such a vote.

However, the research also reveals that, if they did get a vote, Scots would back staying in the EU — giving credence to Mr Salmond’s claims that there is not so much hostility to Europe
